Crown and Bridge

Bridges are dental appliances that replace a section of missing teeth. Gaps left by missing teeth can often cause the remaining teeth to shift into the empty space. This causes an imbalance that can lead to a bad bite, gum disease, and other joint disorders. The purpose of a bridge is to span the gap left by missing teeth. At Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we custom make each bridge for a more natural smile.

Crowns are used to restore a tooth’s function and appearance following a restorative procedure or tooth decay. There are many reasons why we may recommend placing a crown, such as:

Broken teeth

Decayed teeth

Fractured fillings

A crown can also be used to place a bridge or cover implants! Crowns have a very natural look and can be fit in seamlessly with your other teeth. They typically last a lifetime if cared for properly. As with all oral health, it is important to care for your crown or bridge by brushing and flossing daily.
